Good Doctor Visit.

Today was Raegan's 15 month check-up. I was a little nervous since this was the first time to see her new doctor but it all went fine and we liked her really well. She played with Raegan a lot which impressed me that she tried to develop a repoire with her. Unfortunately, they had to give her 4 shots and then we have to go back next week for a flu shot and then again in 4 weeks for the booster. In the meantime we will be looking for a pediatric dentist for her to see since she is getting so many teeth now. Two more have appeared and are working their way through. That makes for 12 all together once these finally finish coming in.

Over all we got a good report. I was worried that she is not talking enough but the doctor said that she is actually performing above age level at appx. 19 months. She is in the 25th percentile in height and weight which is 21 lbs. 5 oz. and 29 1/2 inches. She told us that we had a movie star on our hands and that she needed to go to Hollywood. She was exceptionally spunky today. After the shots though she was exhausted and it took a while for her to bounce back. However, the doctor said we needed to cut her milk and juice intake drastically. She is getting almost double the recommended amount and they said there is a danger of depleting the iron in her blood and causing anemia. This will be a major adjustment for us because she drinks so much.
